Boom!!

Dragon Age is coming out on xbox 360, PS3, and PC this October 20th (my birthday) and is looking to be freaking awesome.  The game is made by Bioware, one of the best developers out there.  The game features a lengthy single player campagn that features similar gameplay to that of Biowares previous Baldur's Gate games. 

One of the coolest things that I have read about so far on this game is how your party dynamic shapes the events.  There are tons of characters that you can recruit and when those characters on in your party different options become available at events.  For example, at one part of the game you are trying to get past a guard.  Having one character in your party will allow you to intimidate and bully your way past, while a different character would give you the option to bribe the guard with cookies.  The possibilities are almost endless with how many characters there are.  Also, some characters can't be recruited when you have others, or you have to recruit certain characters to recruit others.  Making the replay value immense.

The game also looks to be biowares most adult title to date.  Having it's fair share of blood and violence and a promise from bioware that will have at least one sex scene in it (although I'm sure it will be similar to mass effect where it doesn't show anything), this game is going to be awesome.

 

Here is some footage of the console gameplay.

I'm very hyped for this. Its been too long since I've played a good Western RPG.



To be honest, I have never played a good western Black Isle's like WRPG on any console at all. Bring 'em on!!!



It's made by the Bioware B-team or something since the main guys are working on Mass Effect 2. I'm not too excited for it.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I don't think there is such a thing as a Bioware B team.  I think every team they got is AAA :)



I'm really looking forward to this one and Risen.

I love RPGs, I wish there're more RPGs on Xbox 360 than shooters :(
